Hello, Freddy! :D

Wonky temperatures, weather and dodgy internet connections aside, things are going well over at our place!

So far, the file list is at 892 of 2459 files, which equals a progress of about roughly 36 % and it's going on strong! ^^

Everyone is feeling kinda sleepy over at our place, but we are keeping things going nonetheless. :)

Also here's a reply to your [Expand] and some things regarding thoughts on the future of our wikifarm -

Aww... that thing with the SM64O Wiki is quite a bummer.

I still hope that everything else is going fine at your place and that you and Tiny are doing well and being healthy.

Hey! There's also a few more things regarding our wikifarm, which I don't want to post straight in the open, but would request you and the other admins to give me some feedback on:

My dad and myself had already some thoughts and some discussions on how we are going to send our stuff from our archive server to the online ones and how we will handle the accessibility of the content.

He said something about it not being good, if everyone could check out our site, which I said is nonesense.

Of cause, people shouldn't be able to go ahead and steal our content, but restricting things completely to only a handful of people also isn't what I want, as it never was that way and in my opinion never should be that way.

Needless to say, while I kinda got his point and didn't quite agree with it, the security of our servers is still a very important topic, that also needs to be tackled outside the wiki's user structure with the servers and their operating systems themselves using safe passwords later when we get them online...

As for the wiki's user structure, I already made sure, that only logged in users can make edits, so no strangers will mess around with things. Of cause, newcomers can still contact me and ask for a regular user account via my DeviantArt.

My dad also stated an alternative for that, as he asked me, if I could make a freely accessible forum for our wikis (both for people with and without a user account), and I probably could make one, but I don't know how we should handle that freely accessible forum, or if Zenki and myself could handle people's requests on our own, or if we would need any fellow admins' hands, that we could get. (don't know, how many people would use this feature, after all, Kishin Douji Zenki alone has at least 200 - 300 daily visitors ^^')

So, there are so many things ghosting around in my head, but I am looking forward to keep working on the file list, as it is the top priority right now.

Nonetheless, it's surely not a bad thing, that my dad and Zenki are thinking about other things, that might be relevant in the future while I am too occupied with the task at hand. :)
